666. Warcraft TV series?! (Chapter 10)(1/2)
As soon as he heard that this weekend was about to be recorded, Cao Yang immediately became excited, "Then I..."
"No, no!" Ai Xiaomi quickly interrupted him.
"I didn't say anything yet." Cao Yang wondered.
"Don't you just want to go to the scene to see it?" Ai Xiaomi said seriously, "How bad is it for your boss to sit down?"
Humph.
Cao Yang glared at her fiercely.
This guy was obviously afraid that Cao Yang would reveal some of her black news and embarrassing things.
But forget it, as long as Ai Xiaomi and Zhuang Yurou can stand on the stage, the two beauties will appear together, which will be another good wave of publicity for Bomi Company.
Maybe in the future, more and more beauties will want to come in.
In that case, Liu Guangran and his friends' problems could be solved.
I'm such a genius.
Liu Guangran has been complaining to Cao Yang for many years, but now he seems to be a little bit of giving up. He hasn't mentioned the young lady much recently.
So I have to make some living for them.
...
"Oh, by the way, how is the progress of the movie "Resurrection of Leslie Cheung" now? I think it's almost the end of the year. You should have been filming for a while, right?"
"Yeah." Ai Xiaomi sat upright and nodded seriously.
"We've finished all the filming in August and are now in the late production."
Speaking of the movie, Ai Xiaomi's face showed a happy look.
"Boss, it's really a pity that you didn't go to the set. You don't know how many big names this movie has invited. Many celebrities are on the set and you can see their performances.
What Jacky Cheung, Brigitte Lin…”
Ai Xiaomi counted carefully with her fingers, as if she had a few knowledges, and when talking about these celebrities, her face was filled with an extremely happy color.
With so many stars, it would be very happy if anyone could go to the set.
This is probably the only movie that has brought so many big names together for the first time in so many years, right?
Well……
It seems like I'm really losing money.
There are so many stars that Cao Yang likes very much.
It is conceivable how powerful the cast of the movie Resurrection Leslie Cheung is.
...
"The progress of post-production is also very ideal," said Ai Xiaomi happily. "The protagonist we recruited this time is really amazing. The acting skills are really nothing to say. When it comes to playing the brother, it is really vivid, and it looks very similar from the body to the expression.
Oh, the facial features are quite different, but I have read the content of the later production, and I can't tell it after changing my face with AI.
This technology is really powerful and really useful.”
Cao Yang smiled and handed Ai Xiaomi the teacup, saying with a smile, "Did you ever think about using AI face-changing in other places in the future?"
"Of course I have thought about it," said Ai Xiaomi excitedly, "I still have many great ambitions that have not been realized. Boss, do you want to listen to me telling my script?"
She held Boss Cao's teacup with both hands, and looked at Cao Yang with two big eyes, ready to tell him about her great ambitions.
Cao Yang smiled slightly, "I don't want to do it for the time being."
"puff……"
Ai Xiaomi almost choked without a mouthful of water.
After a long time, you are not interested at all. It's too damaging, right?
So why are there so many preparations in front of it?
"Have you seen Avatar?" Cao Yang continued to ask.
"Boss, aren't you asking this knowingly? You forgot that I watched it with Yurou before." Ai Xiaomi said with a pout.
"My idea is to apply AI face-changing to movies like Avatar." Cao Yang guided him step by step.
"Hey?! Boss, your idea is exactly the same as mine, and I think so too." Ai Xiaomi immediately became excited.
"Boss, I wanted to tell you this before, my script is like this..."
"I want to ask someone to film a Warcraft TV series," said Cao Yang.
Before Ai Xiaomi could finish her words, she got stuck in her throat and held them back.
Then his whole eyes magnified and he looked at Boss Cao with an incredible expression.
"Ha? What? What Warcraft TV series?"
Yes, Cao Yang came to Li Lanyun and Ai Xiaomi today, the main purpose was to implement the derivatives of the future IP of Warcraft.
If it is not used, the IP of Warcraft would be too wasteful.
Now Warcraft is still in the game, but Cao Yang has long had the idea of turning Warcraft into a movie.
This idea has become increasingly strong lately.
It was also Cao Yang who figured this out himself before
We can not only go from literature to movies, from literature to games, or from movie to games, but also the other way around.
If the game has achieved enough success and has accumulated games like World of Warcraft that have accumulated quite a few players and fans around the world, such a world-class IP can be completely filmed and television.
"I not only want to make Warcraft into a TV series, but also into a 3D movie in the future." Cao Yang expressed his thoughts.
Until now, Ai Xiaomi's mind has only turned a little.
"Want to shoot a TV series about Warcraft?"
My God...
Ai Xiaomi covered her mouth in shock and silently assessed the difficulty of such a TV series in her heart.
She used to play World of Warcraft with Boss Cao and many stars, so Ai Xiaomi has a certain understanding of the world view of Warcraft and the plot of the characters. I dare not say that it is very in-depth, but at least some common sense well-known plots Ai Xiaomi still knows.
But it was hard to imagine in her mind what the Warcraft would look like if it was filmed as a TV series.
Ai Xiaomi only has a very vague idea in her mind
If a monster is filmed, it will definitely cost a lot of money.
Just take Avatar as an analogy, it is not easy to use a live performance and then use special effects to produce it later to reach the level equivalent to Avatar.
Ai Xiaomi had photographed the wandering earth once before, and she knew how difficult and painful that process was.
Although World of Warcraft itself has the tone of many characters and art has presented related pictures to players, there must be a big difference in real-life movies.
The number of models in World of Warcraft is relatively small, and the outlines do not look real enough. For example, the plate armor and the players' figures look very strange. When it comes to live TV series, it must be undergoing major changes, and you also need to find a suitable actor and find a good enough makeup team to modify it. Bomi Company is conducting post-production...
This is a certain feasibility.
Moreover, the filming is carried out almost in front of the green screen, and it is a very strict requirement for both actors and directors.
Ai Xiaomi asked herself, but she might not be able to do it herself.
Maybe I have to find some international directors to do this.
However, when she heard Cao Yang's thought, she was actually very excited deep down.
It is precisely because the monsters are difficult, so they are challenging.
More importantly, Warcraft is a world-wide IP, well-known to many players, and has many fans in Ome. If this TV series can be successfully filmed, it will definitely be a super masterpiece.
"But why do we need to film a TV series? If we film a TV series, wouldn't we suffer a lot?"
Ai Xiaomi asked strangely.
Because she calculated it roughly and didn't dare to think about it carefully. She could know that the investment in this TV series must be astronomical. No matter if you hire an actor, a director, shooting venue, props, makeup team, and post-production...
Only the world's top configurations can make Warcraft TV series well. Which one does not cost money?
Or in which year do you not burn a lot of money?
The most important thing is that in this domestic streaming environment, if you really make a TV series online or sell it to a TV station, users may not pay, or it can be concluded that the cost will definitely not be recovered.
Blood loss.
It must be a blood loss.
"Boss..." Ai Xiaomi said aggrievedly, "I haven't made much money yet. Do I want to keep paying Bomi Film and Television?"
This is too frustrating.
Ai Xiaomi feels that he is the president of a department with the least sense of accomplishment, or the least profitable position in the entire Bomi Group.
Now I finally managed to win a city with Wandering Earth 2, but the boss actually wanted her to get a job again.
This guy is obviously going to lose money.
To be continued...
